THE CHURCH MEMBERSHIP COVENANT
“Having received Christ as my Lord and Savior and been baptized, and being in agreement with the church’s statements, strategy and structure, I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to unite with the Kenmore Baptist Church family. In doing so, I commit myself to do the following:
1. I will protect the unity of my church …by acting in love toward other members …by refusing to gossip …by following the leadership of the church (Romans 15:5, 19; I Peter 1:22; Ephesians 4:29; Hebrews 13:17)
2. I will share the responsibility of my church …by praying for its growth …by inviting the unchurched to attend …by warmly welcoming those who visit (I Thessalonians 1:2; Luke 14:23; Romans 15:7)
3. I will serve the ministry of my church …by discovering my gifts and talents …by being willing and equipped to serve …by developing a servant’s heart (I Peter 4:10; Ephesians 4:11-12; Philippians 2:3-4,7)
4. I will support the testimony of my church …by attending faithfully …by living a godly life …by giving regularly (Hebrews 10:25; Philippians 1:27; I Corinthians 16:2; Leviticus 27:30)
